Hi,
I think that the idea of running 3 operating systems on one computer is a
little bit too difficult for me.
I thought that the problem would lie in the bootmanager, but when people
start talking about rebuilding the kernel, that's where I stop.
I'm a real newbee and I don't know much about Linux. (for e.g. I don't even
know how to install or run a program, but I'm really making time to read
about Linux and I'm still busy with the graphics*)
*see my mail from a few weeks ago.
I thank all of you for your kind responces and clear answers and I'm sorry
to have waisted your time.
Remon
